Been up 8 times in a 5hr stretch!!!!!!!!

[MrsP23]

Hi everyone

I'm new here but had to post because I think I am going to explode with anger/frustration/tiredness etc etc

Basically my daughter is 7 months and ebf and we cosleep. She has never been a great sleeper and has never slept for more than a 5 hr stretch in one night. This is very occasional though.

It seems as though no matter what I do I cannot get her to sleep soundly. She tosses and turns rubs eyes ears nose flails arms everything and as the title says I have been up 8 times to resettle her in 5 hrs and I am exhausted. Completely!

Any advice/similar experiences appreciated but if not at least I have vented some frustration at least

Come and join us in our crap sleepers support thread. A weary welcome awaits!

Does she have allergies? DS is allergic to lots of things & is constantly rubbing his face. I have to hold his arms down at night to get him to sleep if something's irritating him.

This was useful for me.

Thanks for the reply seriouslysleepdeprived. . She doesn't have any that I'm aware of but you never know. It's worth looking into though
